Paul, 27, raised eyebrows last month when he shared footage on social media of him knocking out a sparring partner with a right hook. He taunted the camera with a shout: “Don’t charge at me, Tyson.”

The clip left fans skeptical, as evidenced by comments like, “That guy didn’t move his head, that’s one of Mike’s best features,” and more blunt assessments like, “Substantial Mike will take his brother’s head off his shoulders.” Some viewers on social media even suggested the sparring partner was a “paid actor,” dismissing Paul’s chances with comments like: “Jake doesn’t hit anyone.”

Tyson, who cannot be outdone, released his own sparring video a few weeks ago in which he knocked out his partner with a powerful left hook. At the end of the session, his coach Rafael Cordeiro could be heard saying: “It was good for today.”

Furious Tyson replied: “Are you sure? Are you fucking sure?!” The boxing icon then exclaimed, “I’ve got a lot in me,” and sent a acute message to “The Problem Child,” declaring, “I’m just getting started.”

Both contenders eagerly enter the ring and definitively end the rivalry. They were previously scheduled to face each other earlier this year, but Tyson had to withdraw due to a recurrence of his peptic ulcer.

Although Paul has been actively sharing his training progress online, Tyson remains skeptical, especially when it comes to the video in which Paul appears to knock out his sparring partner. Discussing material with Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo, Tyson noted: “Did you see his sparring session where the guy was pretending to get knocked out? It was lovely.”

At first, Usman and Cejudo were confused as to what Tyson meant until he explained: “He was a chubby guy. He fell. He dived”!

Despite concerns about his health ahead of next month’s upcoming fight, Tyson’s recent sparring footage has fans confident about his fitness. Paul countered the hype surrounding the heavyweight champion’s readiness by responding to viral sparring videos.

Jake Paul has commented on his upcoming fight, stating in an interview with: TODAY: “Tyson throws people into sparring sessions. His trainers say he is in the best shape and strongest he has ever been.

“I know that November 15 will be a war. But I plan on just sending him a message and showing the world what I’m capable of, coming alive in this moment and knocking out one of the best to ever do it.”

Paul faced criticism for taking the fight, but responded to the negative comments. “A lot of people wonder, ‘Jake, why are you doing this? Even if you beat him, they will say he is senior.” But for me, Mike Tyson wanted to fight me,” he said.

“It’s an honor. He is one of the most famed boxers in the world who has ever done this. Performing there with someone of his character is an honor and a dream come true. It’s going to be a show on Netflix.”

Mike Tyson, the former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, has revealed that his popularity was the driving force behind his decision to fight YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. It has been almost two decades since Tyson last stepped into the ring in 2005, when he was defeated by Kevin McBride.

After the match, an emotional Tyson announced his retirement in a post-fight interview that recently appeared on the Internet ahead of his fight with “The Problem Child.” Although Tyson took part in an exhibition match with boxing legend Roy Jones Jr four years ago, there were concerns about his health ahead of the fight with Paul, who is 31 years his junior.

These concerns intensified when Tyson had to withdraw from the original fight due to flare-ups of ulcers and doctors advised him to stop training. However, he has since returned to the gym.

The fight between Paul and Tyson will take place on November 15 at the AT&T Arena in Arlington, Texas. “The Problem Child” enters the fight fresh off a knockout victory over Mike Perry in July. With a record of 10-1, Paul’s only loss in the sport was to Tommy Fury last year.

The highly anticipated event will be streamed live on Netflix and is expected to be watched by millions of viewers from around the world. The fight between the two fighters is expected to attract over 80,000 fans.

Tyson’s popularity has played a significant role in ticket sales and that is why he will face a 27-year-old opponent. In a recent interview with talkSPORT, when asked about his decision to fight now, “Iron Mike” replied: “58. I’m going to fight in the biggest arena of all time and it’s going to sell out and who else can do it?

When asked what it means to sell out such a huge stadium in the States, he said: “It makes me feel like I have to perform. They give me all this inspiration and let me know, ‘Boy, you gotta perform today.’ It’s time to perform.

In the same interview, the 58-year-old expressed concerns about his health in connection with the upcoming fight. “Everything has been taken care of,” he assured. “I had a problem with ulcers. I ate bad food.” When asked if he would be ready for November 15, “Iron Mike” confidently replied, “Thank God.”

These comments came after an interview with the Mail Online in which Tyson admitted that diet had been the cause of his past health problems. “I ate too much bad food and stuff, and I got unwell,” he confessed.

However, he has since changed his eating habits, avoiding “processed foods” and “eating tidy” in preparation for his fight with the newborn American.
